evil and rude: adj. Both evil and rude, but with the
additional connotation that the rudeness was due to malice rather
than incompetence. Thus, for example: Microsoft's Windows NT is
evil because it's a competent implementation of a bad design; it's
rude because it's gratuitously incompatible with Unix in places
where compatibility would have been as easy and effective to do; but
it's evil and rude because the incompatibilities are apparently
there not to fix design bugs in Unix but rather to lock hapless
customers and developers into the Microsoft way. Hackish evil and
rude is close to the mainstream sense of `evil'.
